HOW THEY TALK.

ING tHC CdDUdtIl, particularly dS IOuS do
/ we have laws for its observance. | was
years ago, and | don't think there was
|, church member among us, at least L
/ never found it out, but we were all in
favor of resting on Sunday, and we
found out that our cattle did better for
us. remember during the anti-slavery
( agitation down in Illinois that there
were quite number of men who were
+ opposed to the anti-slavery idea, but
|, they said it was law, and for that rea-
son they would obey the law.
Marshal W. NJ. CampbelE-To argue
I for commercial union between the
+ United States and Canada that England
will then have to pay the tariff, is to fall
into the rut of the old protective fallacy.
Let me illustrate. Here is this paper
weight. 1t was made in Sheffield. 1t
will cost you 81 there. You are making
an investment, and you buy it. 1t costs
10 cents to transport it to this country.
Here you are met by the Dcustom house
officials with the demand for tariff of
% cents. You have now put S1.35 into
that paper weight. You have invested
to make profit. Say your profit is 20
cents. What must you sell it to the con-
Sumer for?-for $3.50 and donate to the
consumer the 25 cents tariff which you
have paid? or will you charge the con-
sumner S1.55? Now, how III the name of
heaven can you show that the producer
pays for the tariff?
Gov. McGill-I will endeavor to settle
the Red Wing petition to the Satisfac-
ton of all parties concerned. They had
formidable delegation indeed.
Insurance Commissioner Shandrew-
| think the Red Wing citizens justly en-
titled to representatives on the state
reform school board. By all means
there should be two members at least
located near the school. l have no doubt
the petition will meet the most favor
able consideration. / think the school
will undoubtedly be run at much less
expense at Red Wing than any other
place.
Senator Hall-Our delegation consists
of representative bankers, merchants,
manufacturers, lawyers, clergymen and
business men generally. We are here
to petition the governor for the appoint
ment of two of our citizens upon the
board of managers of the reform school
whenever vacancies occur. The petit
ton is temperate in tone, and is based
upon the principle that inasmuch as the
school is now legally located at Red
Wing, convenience in its management,
the interests of the state, as well as the
uniform custom prevailing in appoint
mentS of like character. entiIle the peO-
pie of the locality in which the institu-
ton is located to at least two resident
managers. Oh, of course we have an
uneXpresSed grievance which does not
appear in the petition. but we
don't wish to trouble or embarraSS the
governor with that. We merely ask that
to which by all presidents we are en-
titled and would have been entitled to
even if the present board had fully
Obeyed the law. 1t is more sin sorrow
than in anger" that | answer you in re-
gard to Mr. Murray. He is an old friend
and an old Democrat. He ought to be
ashamed of himself for 'kicking after
the election" His prolonged aSSocia-
ton with Petit has weakened his virtue
and demOralized his Democracy. Mr..
Murray is pre-eminently a st. Paul man;
intelligent as he is, his intelligence is
narrowed to the horizon of Ramsey
county. He doesn't like to see the school
taken away from st. Paul. Locally
it shall not be done. On any other
hypothesis his conduct is inexplicable.
He believes heis acting in the interests
of st. Paul. l think we have right to
hold st. Paul responsible for the actions
of her two representatives on the board.
J William p. Murray was amused
yesterday when nearly the entire male
population of Red Wing marched up to
the state capitol, in swallOwtail coats
and white necktieS, and exclaimed with
one voice, "YOur EXcellency, GoOdhue
county is your friend. The Republican
delegation stood by you in the last state
convention. We will stand by you in
the next We want and must have the
+o{n Thn
with pallid cheek, replied, Gentlemen,
you shall have it." | shall be equally
amused when the same swallow
tail and white necktie fellows march
into the Merchants National bank
and eXclaim: "Mr. Speaker, you are
our choice for governor, but we must
have tine reform school," The preSi-
dent of the State Agricultural asSocia-
ton with his bland manner, will say,
Certainly, gentlemen, anything you
want except discount" And | will
be more than amused if the state reform
school removal is made factor in the
next state Republican convention,
whether either McGill or Merriam will
ment of lifetime will be the election
of Democrat for governor of Mime
sofa.
''As member of the commission that
located the site of the state reform
school at Red Wing" said Hon. John f.
Meagher, of MankatO, Il want to be
put on record as favorable to carrying
out the work for which we were desig-
mated. Three different examine
tions were made of the site,
and each one only strengthened the
commission in the belief that
a most desirable situation had been OBJ
ba Of Pod Winnr
entitled to this consideration at the
hands of the state, for they are one of
the most thriving communities in Min
nesota, and should not be discouraged
in their efforts to secure this institution
near their town. 1t was alleged, among
other objections, that the site was too
elevated to admit of easy transportation
of coal and other necessary supplies,
but this was demonstrated to be baSeleSS
by the contiguity of an excellent wagon
road and the new switch put in at the
foot of the bluff. Then the running
water that abOundS on all sides and the
numerous artesian wells in the vicinity
are sufficient evidence that famine
need not be dreaded from these sources,
and all in all the site meets every re-
quirement for a Reform school,"
w. NJ. Wilkinson. General Agent of
1.-THE GiadiatOr''-RObert Downing is
one of the most persistent men 1 ever
knew in searching for manuscript of
old plays, and tragedies, and various
things in connection with dramatic pro-
auctions. One OF the mementOes which
he has in his possession, and. which he
prizes very highly, is the original
prompt book of 1.-THE Gladiator" 1t is an
old yellow-looking volume, such as might
gladden. the heart of an antiquarian. 1t
was with this book that the immortal
Forrest rehearsed the first company
which produced the play in Philadelphia
at the old Walnut Street theater. The
cast as arranged in this book is some
thing a little different than that used
nowadays only so, however, as regards
